Pegasi Corporation (the group who brings you Everfree Northwest this August) is proud to announce the second iteration of the spectacular regional gathering, Northwest Bronyfest!



An evolution of the immensely successful inaugural event last summer, Bronyfest aims to provide a full weekend of crazy pony fun for the community in the northwest region. From music to episode streaming to special guests and events, this event is not to be missed.

Our host city this year is again the beautiful Portland, Oregon. Day one events will span the immediate downtown area, including stops at Powell's Books, Voodoo Doughnut, Red Couch, and Pioneer Place. Day two will see the return of a pleasant day in the park, ending Sunday evening with some live music and a barbecue (if all goes to plan).



Because of increased interest (without publicizing we easily exceeded the venue cap of 100 people last year), we are asking for a mere $5 cover fee to fund some of our expenses and bring you the most kickass summer bash imaginable!



Linked below is the write-up that hit Equestria Daily after last year's gathering, to get an idea of what to expect. (Protip: it will be even BETTER this year!)
